What was missing for me when I had this beer was the smell and taste. Hardly any smell at all and then the flavor just came up short for me. Part of the issue, though, is that I am a Stout, Breakfast Stout, and IPA lover, so Pale Ales just don't do it for me. However, I have had other pale ales and enjoyed them more than this particular one. This is my least favorite Founders beer.

A 355ml bottle poured into a La Chouffe tulip glass. Bottle says best before 4th March 2015 so not exactly fresh, but tried a few days before best before date.

A: Poured a cloudy orange/copper with some floating residue, small head with very little retentionS: Grassy, pine, mango and citrusT: Starts crisp and grassy with very light bitter taste, ends with some caramel and alcoholM: Crisp and dry with nice carbonationO: Feels dry but goes down easy. Also disappointed with the alcohol appearing at the end
